As mentioned above, the 919 is extremely versatile: you can make power practically anywhere in the rpm range, it likes the city and the twisties but can be used capably in anything other than off road conditions. Also, as mentioned above, it makes more sense to me than the 2013 cb1100. While its styling is less purist, and is more of a nod to the past, its performance clearly exceeds the 1100. New 919's are still for sale, and they are selling for very little money. The best deals seem to be on the slighly used ones (ie. 2000 to 5000 miles) though.
